Well, I guess it isn't technically necessary, but I think it might
make things less hectic. Last year we had two weeks, which was more
than we needed, but I think a little slack time will make things go
more smoothly.
BTW, if we're going to do a second pgindent run for this release, we
probably want to do that before the branch point. Not sure if it
should be done before or after beta3.
